REQ Capital delivered strong results in 2024, with REQ Global Compounders ending the year up 23.0% and REQ Nordic Compounders up 17.6%.

REQ details their active learning focus, including a meeting with Constellation Software's founder, Mark Leonard. Key transactions include adding Ametek and Idun Industrier and selling Vitec Software due to a lack of self-funded growth. They provide a thorough analysis of the 'Duality of Autonomy and Control', contrasting Nick Howley's extreme decentralization with Brad Jacobs' standardization, while highlighting their favored 'pull integration' model. They also share findings from a master's thesis on the public-private multiple discrepancy and present an in-depth case study of Momentum Group's business model.
